Step into Walter Gay’s “Entrance Hall, Moffatt Ladd House” from 1923 with us today. From the sweeping staircase to the ornate wallpaper and stately furnishings, this painting captures the elegance of the Great Hall in the same light it still stands in today. 🎨

🎂 On this day in 1768, Mary “Polly” Tufton Moffatt was born in the Moffatt-Ladd House, the daughter of Samuel and Sarah Catherine Moffatt, the home’s first family.
One of the most charming and personal details of the house is an etching Polly left behind as a young girl.
